MultiCultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance's English to Spanish QuickVue Guide: An Invaluable Tool For Restaurant Managers and Staff

With Hispanic and Latinos making up 35.3 percent of the U.S. population, and 17+ percent of employees in the foodservice industry, MFHA is first-to-market to develop the QuickVue Guide to meet the needs of the industry and its members.

The MFHA QuickVue Guide is designed to close the communication gap between restaurant managers and staff. It is a pocket-sized guide that allows individuals to instantly and effectively 'get their point across' in Spanish. Gleaned from industry input, the MFHA QuickVue Guide includes complete phrases and requests in such categories as food preparation, cleaning up, safety and hygiene. It also includes the pronunciation for those words and phrases included, allowing even those who have never spoken Spanish to easily be understood.

The QuickVue Guide can be tailored to individual companies. Its cover can be customized to feature the logo of the restaurant or company as well as up to three company-specific Spanish and English captions on the cover. The single unit purchase price is $10.95, available through www.mfha.net. Volume discounts are available for purchases of over one hundred. Call (401) 751-8883 for more information.

"Rapidly changing demographics require today's restaurant managers to have a basic understanding of the Spanish language," said Gerry Fernandez, MFHA. President. "The QuickVue Guide helps managers give clearer instruction and direction, as well as develop a more personal and meaningful relationship with all of the restaurant's employees. Through enhanced communication, the restaurant is more efficient."
